Holidays Zell am Ziller

Zillertal Arena Winter Paradise

The Zillertal Arena ski resort meets the highest demands of ski fans. The largest ski resort in the Zillertal valley with 139 km of slopes stretches across several mountains and valleys all the way to the county of Salzburg. There are 51 modern lifts which link the villages of Zell, Gerlos and Königsleiten. The Gerlosstein family ski resort with its 12 km of slopes is also part of the Zillertal Arena and ideal for beginners. And the best of all: There are no queues!

A special highlight of every skiing holiday in the Zillertal valley is the natural and illuminated tobogganing run at Gerlosstein. At Hainzenberg, you take the Gerlosstein lift to the top of the mountain where 7km of tobogganing fun start. There are numerous cozy huts along the way which are definitely worth stopping by. If you prefer to spend a relaxing winter day in the sun, then walk to the Maria Rast pilgrimage church at Hainzenberg where you have beautiful views of Zell and the Zillertal valley. Recharge your batteries in the Waldheim inn.
